Seems I need to start thinking about moving the antenna elsewhere.
Tom,
The signal from 45.1,2,& 3 does not seem to be as strong as it had been in the past. I need to turn my antenna slightly left of the sweet spot for 4, 10, 11, etc, and then can pick up the signal fine.
Regarding the Quest for the TV Holy Grail (in HPP), clear reception of NBC broadcasts on 13.1 is possible.
It took quite a lot of experimenting but I have managed to find a good signal indoors on the 2nd floor. During football season, I mount my indoor antenna on a camera tripod. Through trial and error, I've found a single place in my home, not even in a window, in a corner of a bedroom nearest a direct line toward the 13.1 & 13.2 transmitters on top of the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel. I've locked the antenna in place on the tripod, and on the floor have three markers to indicate where the legs of the tripod should be placed. This allows me to move the tripod to other rooms if necessary to pick up the other channels or watch another TV. A 1/4" out of alignment will drop the station, but when it's in the right spot, reception is perfect.
You may ask, was it worth it? My reply, are you a Green Bay Packer fan?
